The difference is that he could save him the first time.
So many parallels between ASIP and TRF. So sad.
John starts out alone and finishes alone. Someone tries to talk to Sherlock and make him commit suicide. One time John arrives in time to save him, the second time he is too late. In the first episode, John asks if people usually assume he’s the killer, criminal etc. In the second one he’s being arrested for just that fact. In the first one Sally remarks that one day they will be surrounding a body on the ground and Sherlock will be the one that put it there. And she was right. Sherlocks.
